headed to the field- Mission home in Curaco

-

 

OH my mama heart is racing and I just am flustered about this flight.  RIght now there is a hurricane (Hurricane Ian) that is touching down in Florida-- more near Orlando- but causing issues all through Florida at all airports.  I just checked and Miles is currently in flight from SLC to PHX.  According to the airline, his flight from PHX to Miami is still on schedule to leave at 9:43pm but when I went to check his Miami to Curacao flight, the one scheduled for today is cancelled-- and tomorrow's (that he's on is still scheduled, but who knows) Time to activate FAITH! Heavenly Father knows HIS missionaries are in flight and on the way-- I trust Him!


Leg one SLC to PHOENIX

Leg 2 Phoenix to Miami

Leg 3 Miami to Curacao

We were able to talk to Miles briefly on his first pday in the field.  He said his flights went well and the group of 13 missionaries arrived safely as planned in Curaco.  Several few out quickly to their assignements- Dutch speakers to Suriname, English speakers to Guyana, and a spanish elder to Bonaire- but Miles was unable to get his flight to his first area- ARUBA Noord (Northern Aruba) until a few days later, which worked out well because he was able to stay over with the AP's and watch conference with his mission president and office missionaries.  I think it's neat he got a little more opportunity to get to know his mission president and the AP's-- but he was also excteid to be flying out tonight to Aruba-- to meet his trainer, Elder Lopez- who is American, but hispanic and a fluent Spanish speaker.  He has only been out for 3 transfers, but must be a great missionary to be training so soon.  Miles seemed reallly excited about his assignment and had a great atttitude about the humidity, the mosquitos, and things in general.  My mama heart was so proud to see him at this launch.  Love him so!

 continuing  1/1/23 Response page 103   Jan 1 st Glad you got a fireworks show.  I had brought a bunch of glow in the dark stuff to McCall for the big ring in the new year and totally spaced getting it out- maybe I’ll save it for fourth of July Fasting anytime is hard but on a mission I bet it is especially hard because you can’ t nap away part of it- but where there’s an increase of faith there’s an increase of blessings and I hope you felt good after your day of fasting to consecrate this new year…. I’m glad you could see more of your island working on the area book.  The Lord won’t forget the people you don’t get to see because of your bike situation.  Still might be good to mention to a ZL or someone- just an awareness you have of those people—you never know when a mission gets more cars- and the need proceeds that (maybe you won’t get a car, but you might eventually get more areas- more missionaries to cover them) Jan 2 You aren’t d...

  Elder Miller, MTC graduate, top honors You are on your way! You did it! Home MTC ☒    Provo MTC ☒    Complete first transfer with companion ☒   Board plane for mission ☒       You’ve been so ready for today, preparing for these 6 mtc weeks, preparing since primary, preparing since before the world was… the Lord needs you now exactly where he’s sending you.   It is amazing to think of the light you’ll share and how it will change people forever—what a ripple effect—it’s so awesome. I am sure you are feeling a little nervous too- but you are very good at hard things—and you can do this.   You have already set the tone for your missionary service and we are so proud of your effort, your diligence, your ability to lead and love and be Christlike.   You will have a lot to learn from your trainer- and he doesn’t have to be a dream comp to teach you what the Lord wants you to know. I hope he is- but just know- you set y...
